Batagor

Batagor is one of famous street snack originating from Bandung, West Jawa. It is made from mackerel fish, Tofu sometimes from prawn It is similar to to other food called Siomay, but the difference is that Batagor is fried. It is served with peanut sauce with red chilli, kafir lime juice. On the top you can put sweet soy sauce, here called kecap manis.


You can see on the left side the fried Batagor. The seller filling the plastic with the sauce after i ordered the Batagor take away. he will cut the edges of the fried pieces and put it in the plastic container.

In my humble opinion i think the most plastic is used in Asian countries. they used the plastic for everything. As you can see on the picture there is small container another small bag for sauce and you get the spoon or fork and all this is put in plastic bag.



The look might not be the the most appetizing but the taste is good. You can feel the peanut sauce with lime juice mixed with soy sauce and the flavor of fried fish-tofu. Yummy.

Sawo-Sapodilla-Chico

I have found l in supermarket (I know it is shame that not on the market) fruit which looked like a potato. I knew it is a fruit because i found it in the fruit section. It also resemble kiwi but without the hair. I had no idea what was it. On the sticker was written Sawo.

Nedavno som v supermarkete (ano mal by som nakupovat na trhovisku a nie v supermarkete) nasiel ovocie, podobajuce sa zemiaku. To ze to je ovocie som vytusil tym ze bolo v sekcii pre ovocie. Podobalo sa to na maly zemiak, alebo kiwi bez "srsti". Na nalepke bolo napisane Sawo.




After doing some research I found the Sawo is also known as Sapodilla or Chico in Phillipines and was native in Central America. When you cut it in half, it has brown flash inside with the nuts.

Po resersi som zistil ze ovocie sa vola Sapodilla alebo na Filipinach ho nazyvaju Chico a je povodom z Centralnej Ameriky. po prekrojeni na polovicu vo vnutri sa nachadzala hnedasta duzina s kostkami.


The flesh is like pear like but little softer and the taste is sweet like like brown palm sugar. Very delicious and subtle.
When buying one of these be careful there are other species who like also the sweet taste. The worms. Try to get not too firm and not too soft fruit. It is one of best tasting fruit i have ever tasted.


Duzina strukturou bola ako hruska len troska jemnejsia a chut bola ako hnedy palmovy cukor.
Pri kupovani treba byt obozretny, lebo nielen cloveku chuti toto ovocie. Zvycajne sa vo vnutri nachadza aj cierny pasazier. Mam na mysli cervika. Najlepsie je kupit ovocie nie ani velmi tvrde ale ani velmi makke. Je to jedno z najlepsich ovocii co som kedy skusil.
